For years, legacy technology has been a problem companies knew they needed to solve, but one they often struggled to tackle. The cost, complexity, and risk of replacing business-critical systems could make modernization feel like a disruption to manage instead of an opportunity to pursue. But with...
Texte de Timothée GauchezLe constat : posséder son système, vraimentLa majorité des distributions Linux font un choix implicite à la place de l'utilisateur : abstraire, automatiser, masquer. Le résultat est un système qui fonctionne, jusqu'au moment où il ne fonctionne plus, et où personne ne sait...
I knew I’d officially become a ‘longevity influencer’ this month when a company called Generation Lab reached out to offer me the chance to write about—and even receive—their new rejuvenation treatment, an injectable combination of two existing drugs which they call 1-Generation. This wasn’t...
Puzzles and games have been central to AI development since the very beginning. Just as we humans like to test our smarts with crosswords or logic puzzles, developers can test how far models have advanced with a gaming gauntlet. The term “machine learning” was popularized in a 1959 article by the...
It’s a glorious day in Kirkland, Washington, an affluent Seattle suburb on the eastern shore of Lake Washington. The temperature is in the mid-80s, and the sky is incapable of being any more blue. The view from the Gates Ventures conference room overlooks the Carillon Point Marina, where a flotilla...
When remotely operated vehicles settle on the seafloor or dig through a sand bed, they can kick up clouds of sediment that onboard cameras struggle to see through. Often, the only thing to do is wait until the dust settles. But a new system developed by Amy Phung, SM ’23, PhD ’26, and her advisor...
Slack était jusqu'à présent connu pour sa solution de communication. Et dans cette logique d'échange et de collaboration, Slack dévoile Slack Code. "Aujourd'hui, le travail qui se déroule entre un collaborateur et un agent IA, en dehors de Slack, reste invisible pour tous les autres. Le contexte se...
“Daddy?” Theo curled against my side in bed. “Where do words go when they die?” I’d orchestrated the bedtime routine flawlessly: bath (taken), teeth (brushed), potty (tinkled), books (two), song (one, poorly sung), and snuggle (his chin on my second rib). Now was the moment when our son’s eyelids...
This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. AI’s recursive self-improvement might not come so quickly after all The AI industry’s boldest promise right now is that AI will soon improve itself,...
The AI industry’s boldest promise right now is that AI will soon improve itself, with almost no need for human oversight. LLMs can already write code, generate synthetic data for training, and optimize the computer chips they run on. Forecasts of explosive AI progress predict that what researchers...
In 2017, Deanne Taylor attended a presentation at the University of Pennsylvania, just a short walk from her office. A researcher was there to unveil the Human Cell Atlas, an ambitious project that aimed to map every cell in the human body. Taylor was floored, and then concerned. As details...
Depuis ce printemps, sachez qu'un git clone ordinaire peut maintenant récupérer un dépôt qui n'existe sur aucun serveur spécifique. En fait, le code est stocké dans Freenet, le réseau pair-à-pair qu'Ian Clarke a relancé en mars. Et comme y'a plus d'hébergeur, bah y'a plus personne pour fermer un...
